refused to walk under a picture of Pr. siient
Cleveland hung on a banner across the
street The picture, he said, hung to one
side little, but the soldiers paid no atten

himself and Gouernor Wilson, Governor For
aker said.
There was a great reunion of soldiers
there, and tremendous outpouring OF the
people In the evening while sitting at our
hotel talking to Governor Beaver, of Penn
sylvania, and Governor Wilson, of West Vir-
ginia, the latter gentleman was called on for a
speech, and he said among other things, that
those who wore the gray were as brave as
those who wore the blue.
Some one in the crowd on the street said,
Yes; but they We're rebels, weren't they 2
Governor Wilson answered that they were
brought up to believe that under the constitu-
ton state had the ri ght tosecede We shot
that idea TO death on the battlefield ! said
After Wilson got through they called on me,

Governor Beaver Governor Wilson again
spoke, and made a political speech, saying
that the G. A. r, was Republican institu-

sectionalism. [ answered that when called

heard before. There was good deal of feel

NIAGARA FALLS, Aug. 29.-Sunday after
noon Charles A. Percy went through the
whirlpool rapids in his life boat aud landed
dry and safe on the Canadian shore at 3:55.
The boat is an invention of his own, and as it
sat upon the water it presented very fine
appearance and looked well adapted for Its
task. 1t is II feet long and feet 10 inches
wide, is built of the best hickory, entirely
covered with canvas and is water proof.
She has an air-chanber six feet long at each
end, and central chamber in the middle, is

secured by ballast on the keel Her whole
weight is 900 pounds Percy can tell but
little more of his trip than could Graham or
Kendall of theirs. Once he thought he bad
